13370756, Young voters(Gen Z + Millenial + Gen X) outvoted Boomers by 2% in '16

according to Pew Research:

And HRC still lost. This is why I say that Biden and Bernie are actually working with 2 cuts of Hilary's base... Biden --> Black southern voters and Bernie --> Youth Vote and Latino voters

You can even see it playing out if you look at the current map of primary wins (blue is Biden, green is Bernie)

Personally, I think both Bernie and Biden would be competing against 45 with a *weaker* coalition than HRC did, and hers lost.

Which is why I think a VP that could help appeal to the red areas on the Electoral College map (https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/da/2016_Presidential_Election_by_County.svg/474px-2016_Presidential_Election_by_County.svg.png) would be a key strategy in trying to defeat this man. If it was me, I mean lol


sorry to butt in btw lol. I'm sure Vex might have a different take
